The number of full-time security workers is estimated to be between 1.9 and 2.1 million.

Operational (non-IT) private security spending is estimated to be $202 billion with expected growth of 5.5 percent in 2013; IT-related private security market is estimated at $80 billion with growth of 9 percent projected for 2013

I’m interested particularly in the Tech market, focused in three key sectors: Cloud Security, Mobile Security and Network Security. I have writtensomepostsabout Security, because I enjoy to study this market, and with the increasing interest for enterprise and personal privacy; I know that this market have the potential to grow exponentially.

I´m a long and proud Linux user since 2006, and in my geek life like a Linux user and advocate; I´ve used more than 20 different Linux distros since the days of compiling from stage 1 with Gentoo, crack a new Windows-based machine with an amazing Knoppix 3.8 LiveCD, from compiling the new version of the kernel to extract the maximum performance of a 256 MB RAM PC with a ligth and minimalist desktop environment. Then, I had the pleasure to be in charge of a complex platform where the main OS was Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and after two months working with it, I said: Wow, this is another kind of Linux ready for the enterprise.”. Then, I heard some great news: “Red Hat become in the first Open Source billion dolars company”, and I wrote a post about it. Then, I found FedoraLinux, and I’m happy with it yet. Then, I wrote about why Jim (Red Hat’s CEO) and his team should create some critical partnerships to drive Hadoop and Big Data market focused in the security of the platform. But, right now, I think that there’s an inflection point with the new release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Keep reading why I think that RHEL 7 chould change the path for Big Data and Cloud Computing markets.

When I used Dropbox for the first time from my Linux box, it was a shining moment for me. In that time, I was looking precisely for a solution for my files that I used to let behind always in my USB memory. For every Linux user, which many of them loves Open Source software; collaboration is an important issue, and Dropbox came to save my work a lot of times, because the platform itself, is a synonym of collaboration, and this is one of the reason why I love the platform.

The other reason why I love the platform, that they use my favorite programming language for the core development of the proprietary synchronization daemon: Python, and 2012, Guido, the creator of the language was included in Dropbox’s payroll: Just awesome !!!

So, I want to do my little contribution to the platform, writing some ideas how to improve it and the business itself. I will divide this in some key points:

Yes, I know. I´m a little crazy young man, saying to Jim Whitehurst, current Red Hat CEO and their management team all these ideas, but who knows? Perhaps, some of these ideas are not so crazy, and they could be implemented. But I will let that responsibilities to the board.

My ideas are focused on two key needs for many organizations and companies today:

Apache Hadoop: the de-facto platform for Big Data Analytics and its relationship with Cloud Computing

Like I said in a post before, Crime As A Service grows everyday exponentially in every country of this world, and everyday new kind of attacks, new kind of ways to steal information come to the light.

There is an amazing battle between organizations, companies and hackers around the globe; and of course, to win this war, you have to choose wisely your tools. I blogged about Splunk Security; today it’s the turn for another big player in this field: Umbrella by OpenDNS.

Like the title says, to choose an enterprise-level Massive Parallel Processing (MPP) database is actually a big headache for every Data Science Manager; basically because there are very good choices around the tech world.

There are many industries which are in total explosion: Real State, MarketingAnalytics, Retail, Recruiting Services, Big Data Analytics; but these are the good guys. There are other guys which are using its deep knowledge about Security, Hacking, Cracking, Phishing to take advantage of the popularity of these industries to cut a big slide of the pie and make money from that. A new kind of business have born: Crime as a Service (CaaS).
